Home & Garden Clothes Wearing and Washing

[Bunk Moreland]

Underwear / socks = 1 wear

Exercise / gym wear = 1 wear

Anything that is directly on skin on the upper body (sweat) = 1 wear

Everything else depends, if you're just sitting around in it can go a few wears. Depends what you're doing... for example I always wash jeans after a night out, generally they'll be dirty because of the amount of drink etc that gets spilt on them

And of course stuff with visible dirt (active outdoor jobs etc) should be washed.

Pant? Short? Jean?

singular - more than one is pants, shorts and jeans imo.

Why do people say "a pair of pants/shorts" when they are only talking about one?

Have you ever considered that a 'pant' is just the one leg?

Yeah but it is one piece of clothing.

If it troubles you so, may I suggest wearings some singular lower body garments then? Skirt, sarong, kilt should all be less intimidating.

 

[Gough]

I've got a kilt, but I don't really have the legs for it.

Match it with some leggings then.

Nah, I'll stick to my short, pant and jean thanks.

True story, mother****er: Saw a man in a kilt in Hawthorn this week. And it was daytime. He looked like he was in a choir old people listen to or some shit.

 

[rippersnipper]

Pants and shorts would be 3-4 days
Socks, shirts and underwear is daily
Tops 2-3 days

Certain items of clothes are better off being aired out rather than washed. And then a dry clean when necessary. Suits and nice jackets fall into that category.

Thank-you, humans, for all the information so far provided.

 

[VineyIsLORD]

Also it goes without saying you should always wear an undershirt when wearing business shirts. Undershirts need to be washed after every wear.

I'm with GG more or less.

Jackets would be 5 days for me, but I don't wear it all day, I take it off and hang it up when I get to the office. nly put it on again for 10 minutes while i wander off to buy lunch. Plus I don't wear undershirts/singlets.

But there's always bath towels to wash every week, plus regular bed sheet washing.

Now you have touched on another issue -- bath towels and bed sheeting!!
What do you humans normally do? Please report back asap.

Oh dear, that would be telling my dirty secrets. There's just me in the household. I use towels in sets of 2 because that's how many fit on the towel rack. I take the towels off the rack every washing day and chuck them in the machine. So probably 4 towels each week. I'd like to say I wash the bedsheets weekly, but that would be a lie, it is less often than that.

I need to know the standard usual human behavior.
Currently, I wash bath towels once a week. Bed sheets/pillows bi-weekly. Change quilt cover once a month.
Am I doing it wrong???

I think you would be within normal parameters.

Phew! I'm pretty cluey at masquerading as a human. All thanks to Bigfooty for all their help!

Where is my pant?

 

[Wosh]

Honestly, you people will talk about anything
I did 2 loads today, ohhhhhhh baby

 

[MWPP]

Wash once a week wear once a day. Won't wear anything twice unless pants if the day before. Everything just has a weird stench otherwise.

THANK YOU! Finally someone with hygiene like myself. The rest of you must give off subtle stale/obscure odors and just don't realize it. Me and Run n Spread are the clean ones here.

Agree with the above . Especially the bolded parts
I'm another person who washes almost everything daily (if I've worn it all day) , including jeans (coats/jackets are the main exception)
I don't wash footy Guernseys very often though
